Contrary to reports of strife between the duo, the Fight For This Love hitmaker and Strictly professional are enjoying a blossoming friendship.

Wah! Saturday night is only set to delight viewers further, as the upcoming episode of the talent show will see judges Cheryl and Oti Mabuse become locked in a hilarious play-fight while standing on their chairs above co-star Matthew Morrison

Speaking of their relationship, insiders revealed exclusively to MailOnline: 'You could see Cheryl and Oti’s friendship clearly strengthening over the course of auditions...

'There is no way they would have felt comfortable enough to play fight if they weren’t genuinely mates. Backstage there was lots of dancing and cheeky banter especially ahead of choosing their final 3 acts.’

Cheryl has returned to our screens after a tough 2018 following her split from Liam Payne, whom is the father of their son Bear.

While it appears the songstress may have given up on romance, the hitmaker confided in MailOnline that the reality is a little more optimistic.

The mother-of-one said: 'I wouldn't say I've given up on love. I love, love. But I have paused my relationship goals. All is well. I'm just going with the flow, but I have no plans to meet anybody anytime soon.'

Twice divorced, Cheryl announced she had split from Liam, 25, the father of son Bear, 22 months, back in July, following a two-and-a-half year romance.

And she admits she finds the heartache of splitting up with a partner almost too much to bear because of the 'lows' that can typically follow the 'highs' of love.

She said: 'I hate the lows... I hate the lows. It's kind of one of the things that makes us not want to get into a relationship. Nothing quite makes you feel like that, does it? Nothing else.

'And I know you have to take the highs with the lows, so I'm working on being OK with that, but at the moment, I just don't need it. I don't want it.'

Despite their split, Cheryl said things are all good with Liam and says they are navigating their way through parenthood well.

She said: 'There's no animosity whatsoever. We are learning all the time. And it's good, it's healthy. We're just like any other couple that have gone through this, but we have a few more eyes watching us... Just a few.'
